The Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, and Commanders have a combined 13 players inside the top 90 overall ADP. Which three are at risk of being the biggest busts?
Malik Nabers tops the list with his WR17 / overall-37 ADP. His incredible 2024 rookie campaign is firmly in the rearview mirror. He’s recovering from a torn ACL that limited him to three full games in 2025, plus 25 offensive snaps alongside rookie Jaxson Dart in the latter’s first NFL start. Nabers might not be the same athlete we saw two years ago, at least not at first, and he’s a poor bet to play 15+ games.
Terry McLaurin (WR22 / overall-44 ADP) also enjoyed a 2024 breakout, but obviously is at a much different point in his career. Turning 31 in September, McLaurin is a post-prime alpha who’s priced at his realistic ceiling. That’s worrisome for managers who want must-start players in the first few rounds of their draft.
Teammate Jayden Daniels (QB5 / overall-65 ADP) is the NFC East’s biggest fantasy bust risk. Like McLaurin, Daniels is priced at his realistic ceiling, but with a floor hovering around the top 12-14 QBs. Whether due to injuries, defensive adjustments, or both, Washington’s franchise quarterback regressed sharply last season across most metrics.
His completion percentage dropped by 8.4 percentage points compared to 2024. His TD rate also declined, in tandem with a much-reduced QB rating.
On the ground, he netted 1.2 fewer yards per carry, on a steep drop in rushing attempts per game. Daniels’ dual-threat capabilities separate him from most of his peers. His ADP assumes a return to greatness. I would caution that his numbers are more likely to resemble last year’s than those of 2024.
